In retaliation to the survey that the **[National Association of Broadcasters](http://www.nab.org/?ref=hypebot.com)** conducted—that showed **78**% of the American public would consider paying a one-time fee of **30**¢ to gain access to local radio stations through the built-in cell phone chip—the **[Consumer Electronics Association](http://www.ce.org/?ref=hypebot.com)** has carried out their own survey. In it, they report that **70**% of cell and smart phone users are not interested in receiving FM radio broadcasts on their phones. More damning still, CEA survey found that **80**% **does not support a government mandate** that would force manufacturers to include an FM tuner in mobile phones.
